Sébastien Calvet after the Bleuets’ defeat against Ireland: “It’s really annoying”

Do you think the outcome of the meeting would have been different with all your strength?
It’s certain that if we had had Hugo Reus (La Rochelle), Léon Darricarrère (Clermont), Zaccharie Affane (UBB), Marko Gazzotti (UBB)… we’re not going to lie, I think the score could have been swing in our favor. This is where French rugby needs to ask itself the right questions. Nothing is ever simple, it’s complex, because besides that, we have a system that works. Louis Bielle-Biarrey, Émilien Gailleton and Posolo Tuilagi are proof of this. But this system is largely optimizable. It’s hard, it’s frustrating for everyone. When it’s the night of the match and you lose like that, it’s really annoying.
